Job Description

Your responsibilities

We are looking for a Digital Integrated Circuit Design Engineer. The candidate will join our team of analog, digital, mixed-signal and verification engineers working on stitched wafer scale monolithic particle detector ASICs implemented in a 65 nm CMOS process. These innovative sensors, severely constrained by yield considerations, have to meet very challenging requirements in terms of power, noise, circuit density and data rate.

The holder of this position will be self-motivated, willing to learn exciting technologies, and develop innovative designs. The person will be responsible of the design, implementation and verification of low-power circuits, using digital on top methodologies, from study through definition and final implementation.

Your profile

    • Familiarity with version control tools (Git).
    • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, TCL, Shell).
  • Desired skills and experience:
    • Timing characterization and block modelling.
    • IRdrop/EM analysis.
    • Analog behavioral modelling (Verilog-A/Verilog-AMS).
    • Process-Voltage-Temperature (PVT) corners, Layout Parameter Extraction (LPE) simulations.
    • Laboratory silicon bring-up evaluation and test experience.
  • Fluent in English, the ability to work in French would be an advantage.

Eligibility criteria:

About us

At CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, physicists and engineers are probing the fundamental structure of the universe. Using the world's largest and most complex scientific instruments, they study the basic constituents of matter – fundamental particles that are made to collide together at close to the speed of light. The process gives physicists clues about how particles interact, and provides insights into the fundamental laws of nature. Find out more on

We are on a Quest. A Journey into discovery like no other. Bring your expertise to our unique work and develop your knowledge and skills at pace. Join world-class subject matter experts on unique projects, in a Quest for greater knowledge and deeper understanding.

Begin your CERN Quest. Take Part

Diversity has been an integral part of CERN's mission since its foundation and is an established value of the Organization. Employing a diverse workforce is central to our success.
